WINE DESCRIPTION

Survivor Pinotage is a premium red wine produced by the South African winery, Survivor Wines. The grapes are sourced from vineyards in the Swartland region, known for its rugged terrain and low-yielding vines. The vineyards are sustainably farmed, with minimal intervention to allow the grapes to express their unique terroir. The winemaking process involves careful selection of the best grapes, followed by fermentation in stainless steel tanks and aging in French oak barrels. The resulting wine is a bold and complex expression of Pinotage, with notes of dark fruit, spice, and a hint of smokiness. It is a perfect match for hearty meat dishes and strong cheeses.

NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER

Aromas of wild blackberry, raspberry, and cassis mingle with subtle notes of dried herbs and tobacco in this robust and well-structured Pinotage.On the palate, a deep core of ripe berry fruit is balanced by firm, but well-integrated tannins and a hint of smoky oak. The finish is long and lingering, with hints of chocolate and spice.
